What happens to the collector experience when the owner isn’t there?In this episode of Hobby Jobs, I explore the systems behind buying, inventory, shipping, and customer service.

Buying GOATs: What Earns Your Confidence?
When someone says they’re putting money in GOATs, what are they counting on? A career people remember? A card collectors keep chasing? A buyer who will be there when it’s time to sell?I look at Steph Curry, Peyton Manning, and Barry Bonds to think through how demand builds over time. We talk about the cards collectors recognize, what a sale can tell us, and why a player’s name cannot make every purchase work.Before you buy, ask yourself why you want that card and who else keeps coming back for it.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

What Is It Worth When There Is No Comp?
I paid a lot for a Roman Reigns 1/1 that had no public sale to point to. I knew why I wanted the card. I still had to decide how I got to that number.In this episode, I talk through what a comp can tell us, where comparisons fall short, and why your buy price, your sale price, and the value of owning a card can be three different numbers.I also share the questions I ask before making an offer: What else can a collector buy? What would I have to give up? What happens if I need to sell? And can I live with the purchase if the market never agrees with me?Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Passion to Profession: Selling Cards Without Pressuring Collectors with Collins Boyce
Collins Boyce has built Curated Cards and Collectibles across card shows, a store, and eBay Live. The part that stayed with me was how he treats the person buying the card.On his live streams, you can talk cards all day and leave without buying one. When a card sells for less than he expected, he tells the buyer, “Great take.”Collins and I talk about what he learned from working alongside a shop owner, why he joined forces with a business partner, and how his team decides where each card from a collection should sell. We also get into Ken Griffey Jr. PSA 10s, what a past sale misses when supply is thin, and why losing money on one card can still make sense for the collection.This is a conversation about building a card business with systems behind it and room for collectors to collect.Passion to Profession is brought to you by eBay.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeA special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession.

Hobby Jobs: What Makes a Collector Come Back? John Amendola on Building Mintink
A collector walks into a card shop for the first time. What happens there determines whether they want to return.I talk with John Amendola, founder and CEO of Mintink, about how he thinks through that visit. We get into greeting people without pressuring them, making room for kids and parents, training staff as Mintink grows, and listening when someone has a bad experience.John says the first sale is easy. The harder question is whether collectors feel enough connection to come back and tell someone else about the shop. This conversation is about the decisions behind that feeling.Hobby Jobs is sponsored by BCW Supplies.
